According to Brad, “I went to HPU for both my undergraduate and graduate programs, and now teach there part-time. HPU goes to great lengths to provide an outstanding learning environment, modern equipment, and qualified faculty. This is why I was pleased when my sons chose HPU for their studies. My wife, Dale, and I support HPU because we believe in the University, and we know that it provides a very high quality education."
